Thank you for your interest in dog who needs a new home. Adoption can be one of the most fulfilling experiences in your life and especially in the life of your new canine companion.
A note to those looking at CPR. We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone. Our job is to find those someone's. Our most successful adopters come to CPR not because they want a dog. They come to us because they want to give a dog a home. We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture. While we like to know what you like in looks, a dog is more than a pretty face. Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home. We want to create furever families.
Our descriptions contain all that we know about this dog today. We'll update as more information is known.
Are you looking to adopt within the next 30 days? If so please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and complete the application. You'll find it in the menu on the left hand side. You'll also find a total listing of all our dogs available.
Just browsing but interested in poodles and poodle mixes? Please drop a note to applications@carolinapoodlerescue.org with your name, address and phone # and email. We'll add you to our mailing list.

Animal ID 251302
Date into Rescue: 06/29/2024
Reason for being in rescue: Rocky was surrendered by his owners to a NC shelter. Carolina Poodle Rescue pulled him from the shelter
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Rocky is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.
Weight: 15.5 lbs
Height: 14 in
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Adoption Fee: $200
Fence needed? No, but he would enjoy one
What kind of home would be best for me? Rocky is a very loyal and protective companion, but Rocky also has some strong opinions, and one of them is very clear: He does not trust men and is NOT a fan of their company. For this reason, he's looking for a home where he can feel safe, loved and more importantly understood. Rocky is the perfect companion for a patient, confident woman who appreciates a dog with just a little spice! What can we say - this boy is all chihuahua!
Because Rocky has such a strong personality, he will need to be placed with a dog-savy adopter who has experience with dogs like Rocky or is familiar with the breed and their quirks. Rocky's ideal home is a single, female adopter with no children or men in the home. He does not mind other dogs, and we think he would enjoy having another dog around, but it is not required. Rocky would also love to have a small fenced in yard as well, but it is not required as long as his adopter plans to give him plenty of walks, exercise and playtime! Most importantly, Rocky needs someone who is willing to respect his boundaries and accept his quirks.
What is my personality like? Rocky and his 3 children were surrendered by their owners to a NC animal shelter. No reason was given. Maybe they were puppies that didn't sell. There was no mama dog with the family. Regardless, we are thankful they are with us.
Meet Rocky! A spunky chocolate boy with a big personality packed into his tiny frame! He's a feisty, independent boy who is a true sweetheart — if you're the right person. Rocky is very intelligent and does great with potty training and basic manners. Once Rocky trusts you, he becomes your shadow. He will follow you around the house, snuggle up on your couch and protect you from any potential intruders! He's the epitome of all things Chihuahua! He loves squeaky toys, yummy treats and basking in the sun ...
Rocky deserves a human who sees his quirks as unique traits instead of challenges. If you're a woman who's looking for an independent, adorable, sassy and endlessly entertaining companion, Rocky is ready to give you his whole heart — on his terms of course.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly
Other tips and tidbits: Rocky is estimated at 6 years old. We celebrate his birthday 06/29/2018.
House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
Please note - we do not ship dogs. If you are interested in adopting, please take a look at the distance between the foster home location and your location and make sure you are willing to make that trip. Most of our dogs are at our farm in Pacolet, South Carolina.
To apply, please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and visit the tab on the left that directions you to the online application.
Please note that when screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home. You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, color, age, etc. Others here may be a better fit for you. It is very difficult to get to know a living animal from a picture and a short description. Since we are constantly getting in new dogs, this may be a dog not in our listings yet. We want you to be very happy with your new companion and will make suggestions based on what you tell us about you.
Thank you for considering CPR.
